I am new to LaTeX sorry if this is very naive, I have a school project and decided to use this as a chance to learn LaTeX.

enter image description here

After doing what some YouTube videos told me to, I somehow get a default "references" which I either want to change color or remove and have the citations under bibliography which is already blue

I did not find any related questions here, any way forward?

Here is the MWE

\documentclass[a4paper,16pt]{article}

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}


\usepackage{hyperref}


\hypersetup{colorlinks,linkcolor={blue},citecolor={blue},urlcolor={red}}


\begin{document}


\section*{\color{blue}Bibliography}


~\cite{enwiki:1028348687}


\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{wiki.bib}


\end{document}

    The answer depends on how you set up your bibliography (there are several ways to do that in LaTeX) and a few other things. Please show us how you currently generate your bibliography in a small example document that reproduces the output you show in the question with as little unrelated code as possible (often called MWE: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/228/35864). – moewe Jun 16 '21 at 05:32

    @moewe sir/ma'am will my recent edit do? – Linkin Jun 16 '21 at 06:11

    You could remove the \section*{\color{blue}Bibliography} and add \renewcommand*{\refname}{\color{blue}Bibliography} to your preamble. – moewe Jun 16 '21 at 06:20

    @moewe I don't know how it worked but it worked! Could you copy-paste that as an answer? – Linkin Jun 16 '21 at 06:25

In the article class the heading of the bibliography is saved in \refname. So you could remove the manual \section*{\color{blue}Bibliography} and tell LaTeX to typeset the heading as you like by redefining \refname with \renewcommand*{\refname}{\color{blue}Bibliography}.

\documentclass[a4paper,16pt]{article}

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}


\usepackage{hyperref}


\hypersetup{colorlinks,linkcolor={blue},citecolor={blue},urlcolor={red}}


\renewcommand*{\refname}{\color{blue}Bibliography}


\begin{document}
\cite{enwiki:1028348687}


\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{wiki}
\end{document}

Note that you may need additional code when you use a localisation package like babel or polyglossia. See How to change the name of document elements like "Figure", "Contents", "Bibliography", "Appendix", etc.?.

Note that report- and book-based classes generally use \bibname where article-based classes usually use \refname.
